Two out of three people believe the welfare state – which was founded with such good intentions of helping the needy – has now become a featherbed for the greedy and is unfit for purpose.

Three out of four believe immigrants should work here for a year before receiving a penny.

Tonight on a ground-breaking Channel 5 programme you will be able to judge if he is being allowed to succeed.

A word of warning: what the programme reveals about benefits and the people who make a living out of doing nothing may be bad for your health.
